This is what I have done with some of the technology I learned in Project Integrate:
A. Mrs. Aleman's pre-kindergarten class and my kindergarten class have been team teaching using IChat as a medium. We have taught our children about the presidents; we both dressed up as Abraham Lincoln and George Washington and they had to decide which fact went with which president. Another lesson we did was related to opposites. Each student had a card and they had to match it with the student in the other class that had the opposite via IChat. Both teachers also dressed up as opposites. One was pretty the other ugly.
B. I played a video podcast for my students using "Grandpa's Teeth" and left it without an ending. Each student made up their own ending and illustrated it. We took several of them and made video podcasts. Once each student had made their ending for the story, I read the entire book and we compared endings.
There are two examples of the student podcasts. They are in Spanish, as I am a Spanish Bilingual Teacher.
Here is the work created by the March 23-24 Group (to see wikis, click on names):
